Did you know I grew up in West Virginia? I did.  I lived in the middle of the country, surrounded by trees and fields and family.  My friends were my cousins.  Our county borders Virginia, and if history serves me correctly, our county actually took sides with the South during the War Between the States.  [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. Health care.  I swear to you, it seems something or another changes with our health care insurance every year.  From what’s covered, to how much it costs (always going up), to our co-pays, to who we can see [...]

It would seem The King had a reputation for liking fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Seems everyone knows this…why, I’m not sure.  Maybe we are all filled with some sort of trivial knowledge about Elvis.  Like, why do I know his birthday is in January? (It was this past Sunday, by the way.) Why [...]

Fish scares me. All those tiny little bones, I just know one is going to lodge in my throat. Shark scares me, too.  Not the tiny bones part, I’m just frightened that maybe the shark will lodge one of my ribs in its throat. Give and take, I guess. But…I’ve decided that in 2012, I’m [...]

It took me a while to realize that dark chocolate had it’s merits.  But it does.  Somehow, I woke up one day to find myself choosing dark chocolate chips versus milk chocolate when making cookies. Don’t ask me how it happened. What I do know is that today, January 10th is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day. [...]

You read that right. I can’t leave butter alone.  In fact, as I type this, though I feel like absolute crap, I would consider standing at the stove over a pan of Kerrygold, waiting on it to release that nutty, buttery aroma. You know, just to. But I won’t.  I’ll keep typing, so that you, [...]

The best thing about Mexican restaurants? The Queso Dip.  Hands down.  Now, my husband might argue it’s the margaritas, but he’d be wrong. It’s the Queso. Creamy, spicy, flavorful cheese.  I honestly have no clue what kind of cheese it is…but it’s fantastic and even better paired with salty tortilla chips. When we went to [...]

Did you get the update? I’ve made it my 2012 Goal to introduce the Breakfast & Brunch eating crowd to the Popover.  I’m shocked at how few recipes are out there on the internet, and therefore, I intend to create a minimum of 52. That’s right…a Popover a week for the entire length of 2012.  [...]
